Planting Erysimum Mix (Wallflower)

Erysimum, commonly known as Wallflower, is a colourful and fragrant plant that produces clusters of vibrant flowers in mixed shades. It is ideal for borders, containers, and spring bedding displays, bringing early-season colour and a lovely scent to the garden.

Choosing the right position

• Prefers full sun for best flowering and compact growth
• Will tolerate light partial shade, though flowering may be reduced
• Ideal for borders, beds, rockeries, and containers
• Suitable for cottage gardens and seasonal displays
• Choose a sheltered spot protected from strong winds

Soil requirements

• Thrives in well-drained soil
• Prefers moderately fertile soil
• Tolerates neutral to slightly alkaline conditions
• Does not tolerate heavy, waterlogged soils
• Improve drainage with grit or sand if necessary

How to plant

• Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and similar depth
• Position the plant so the root ball sits level with the soil surface
• Backfill with soil and firm gently
• Water thoroughly after planting
• Space plants around 20–30cm apart
• Apply a light mulch to retain moisture

Planting in containers

• Use a pot with good drainage holes
• Fill with a free-draining compost mix
• Choose a container suitable for seasonal displays
• Water well after planting and allow excess water to drain
• Place in a sunny position

Ongoing Care and Maintenance

Erysimum is easy to grow and provides a long-lasting display with minimal maintenance.

Watering

• Water regularly during the first growing season
• Keep soil moderately moist but not waterlogged
• Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant
• Container plants require more frequent watering
• Avoid prolonged dryness during flowering

Feeding

• Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support growth
• Feed lightly during the flowering season if needed
• Container plants benefit from occasional liquid feeding
• Avoid excessive feeding, which can lead to soft growth

Deadheading and pruning

• Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming
• Lightly trim plants after flowering to maintain shape
• Cut back leggy growth to encourage bushier plants
• Some varieties may benefit from a harder trim after flowering

Mulching

• Apply a light mulch in spring
• Helps retain moisture and suppress weeds
• Improves soil structure over time
• Keep mulch away from the base of the plant

Seasonal Care and Common Issues

With proper care, Erysimum Mix will provide bright colour and fragrance from early spring into summer.

Seasonal performance

• Produces colourful, fragrant flowers in spring and early summer
• Excellent for early-season displays and mixed planting schemes
• Attracts bees and pollinators
• Provides strong colour impact in beds and containers

Winter care

• Hardy in mild climates but often grown as a biennial or short-lived perennial
• Protect from excessive winter wet rather than cold
• Ensure good drainage during winter months
• Replace plants every few years for best performance

Common problems

• Root rot can occur in poorly drained soil
• Plants may become woody or leggy over time
• Poor flowering may result from lack of sunlight
• Aphids may occasionally affect young growth
• Short lifespan means plants may need regular replacement

Erysimum Mix is a cheerful and reliable plant that brings early colour and fragrance to the garden. Its versatility makes it perfect for borders, containers, and seasonal displays.
